Frankly, this is one of the more enjoyable gourmand perfumes I’ve experienced, even though I still vastly prefer an actual hot cocoa with marshmallows.

HC&C by B&BW is not terribly long-lasting as a projecting scent, but it does provide a strong and delicious skin scent for several hours, depending upon your skin. Assuming one’s skin doesn’t ruin this, the person wearing this will smell good to almost anybody who loves the smell of hot chocolate. To me, this would smell quite pleasant on a woman.

This fragrance definitely veers toward dark chocolate, despite the note being listed as “milk chocolate”. Oh, I’m a big drinker of hot chocolate and consumer of bar chocolate, and I know the difference between dark chocolate and milk chocolate. There is indeed a dairy sweetness more akin to milk chocolate, and it fulfills the “fresh steamed milk” accord that is also listed, but the combination of rich, dark, cocoa and woody notes - which is really well done - comes off decidedly like the lower levels of [not-too-bitter] dark chocolate.

There is a nice marshmallow accord, which rides along with the sweetness, and it lasts. In fact, it lasts a lot longer than those insufferably microscopic “mini-marshmallows” that are now included like a mean joke in grocery store hot chocolate. PUHLEAZE.

This is an enjoyable, and maybe even fun, woody gourmand. Hot Cocoa & Cream may even be the most “kid-safe” darker fragrance out there.

Not sexy.
Not perfumey.
Not visionary.
Just accurate.
It smells like.
The real.
Thing.

And maybe served in a nice, warm coffeeshop with hardwood floors, those thick, rustic, battered-wood tables, and paneling with an interesting grain, but you can barely smell the symphony of woods because it’s all in your perfumery-influenced mind, and because your hot chocolate is RIGHT THERE. With REAL marshmallows, that don’t vanish in 60 seconds.

Yeah, buy the travel size. You don’t need to smell like this every day, even if you’re a chocoholic.
